Staff recruitment

All staff recruitment activity is now paused with the rare exception of strategic appointments which will require the approval of the Registrar, Secretary and Chief Operating Officer for Professional Services roles or Deans for Faculty roles. Any posts which are currently being advertised will continue to be advertised and will run until their closing date.

A holding email will then be sent to candidates explaining that recruitment is paused. Recruiting managers are being asked not to shortlist applications or to carry out interviews during this period.

No new advertisements will be posted until further notice.
